Kendal, Castle Street Cemetery, Kendal, Cumbria
This small cemetery is the oldest open cemetery managed by the
authority. It is situated on the A684 Kendal Sedbergh Road between
St. George's Church and the Kendal-Windermere railway overbridge.
It opened on 17th. May 1843. The disused chapel, which is thought
to have been designed by Kendal Architect, George Webster, opened
on 12th. July 1845.
The cemetery is now full for new burials, although occasional
interments still take place in existing graves. There is no parking
at this cemetery, and the cottage is a private residence. It would
be appreciated if the residents are not disturbed, except in
an emergency.
The cemetery is administered from the Cemeteries Office at
South Lakeland House, Kendal where all the cemetery records are
kept.
